How to let all traffic from local Win 7 through a remote server on Ubuntu (configure your proxy)?

Question

ubuntu

1. I have Windows 7 on my laptop.
2. There is a remote VPS under Ubuntu.
3. What exactly do I need to do to allow all traffic through this server?
I know how to do this through the VPN setup - install the OpenVPN GUI locally and remotely (on Ubuntu Server) raise the openvpn server. And it works.
But is there any way to make it easier? Some kind of masquerading is recommended to me, something else, but I don’t understand HOW?
1. HOW do I make all my traffic from the local Windows 7 computer go to the server.
2. HOW to make the server redirect traffic to its destination.
3. Can this be done without root (sudo) rights? (mb some PHP proxy or something?)
Thanks.

Answer 1

ALL traffic - only with the help of VPN
But if your applications can use socks proxies, then everything is very simple - start an ssh connection to your remote ubuntu server, with the -D1080 key (1080 is a local port on your windows where you will have a proxy), or by configuring SSH -> Tunnels -> Dynamic in putty and specifying source port 1080.
That's it, now it's enough to specify the localhost:1080 proxy in your applications and everything will work (carefully, some applications cannot resolve DNS through a proxy, and in browsers you need to separately set kryzhik)
ps udp so do not proxy
